I bought a used 55k mile turbo/actuator off marketplace for $500, swapped it into my truck and then sold my old turbo core for $400.

​@@flyboy1294Where did you sell your old Turbo actuator? I'd like to see mine for $400 as well 😊

@@Tthrills87 I think the website was called Diesel Punk Cores or something like that

Thanks man, glad it helped someone else

How you got connected the laptop to the truck?

Grid heater bolt went through cylinder 6. Common issue on these trucks unfortunately.

If grid heater is bad, is that gonna affect my calibration on actuator (my mechanic is having problem with calibration)? Or turbo/actuator is totally separated from everything? Thanks

@@flyboy1294 I don't have a scan tool.yet. I just ordered a obdlink mx+ and will be getting alphaobd. Can that see the turbo position stuff you were talking abou?

I will say, the owner of this car got tired of the 6R80 and sold it for a manual valve body TH400 after a few months. For a track setup where you launch from a dead stop on a prepped surface, or with a sub 600rwhp car the 6R80 is a good option. With a 900hp+ car that wants to do street hits from a roll, not having direct control of the downshifts was dangerous, he felt. You could use the paddle shifters but there was enough lag to where he'd slam into the rev limiter on higher boost settings.

@@flyboy1294 Thanks for responding so fast. I have heard that in max effort applications, it can be less than ideal. However, power by the hour started selling the 4r200 conversion which would convert the trans to 4 speed with gears similar to a 4r70. It retains the 6r's overdrive, converter lockup, and trans brake. I think the 6 speed would be better for daily driving and the 4r200 hub could be done if i was only drag racing. It seems pretty affordable overall to swap besides the shift schedule tuning and the actual purchase of the quick 6. I just cant justify throwing an auto without overdrive in the car especially with that 4r200 hub now available. Id stick with the 4r70 if i could make it reliable with more rpm.

@@madmod For a real street car, the 6R80 is a good swap and plenty strong in stock form. It sounds like it would suit your needs well. I will say I had a built 4R70 in my car, and it worked great at 900+rwhp and 7500rpm shifts for 3 years. Never failed me.

@@flyboy1294 what brackets did you find to fit our cars, I have a 03 gt, just changed intake to the victor jr, 85 mm plenum, mmr comp custom cams, shorties and I have a pump and some upgraded injectors and the opportunity just came up to get the Paxton 1000 but doesn’t have the necessary brackets to mount to my car is a Novi 1000.

Thanks!

@@nickclifforddds35 I started off with a Circle D 245mm triple disc 4C stall, but started blowing through it above 750rwhp. After that I went to a Circle D 258mm triple disc in 3B stall. It worked great above 800hp, but on low boost it was tight. Car would flash to 6000rpm and just stay there for an eternity once I went WOT. A 10" converter is probably the same core as the 258mm Circle D, and Freddy Brown is another great brand. You do not need a triple disc unless you want to lockup at WOT. I only locked mine up in the 1/4 mile.

@@nickclifforddds35 You won't regret it. Head and shoulders above the stock ECU

@@flyboy1294 what was your first to second and second to third? mph

@@nickclifforddds35 I don't know man. Car had a manual valve body and was manually shifted. I didn't log mph.

Paxton bracket. Been discontinued for a few years sadly.

fly1294 I was told that the Vortech brackets also work? Is this true? I know I have seen may people wanting to find that Paxton bracket even think about having it copied and machined?

@@2vgod460 I think the newer Paxton 1200 and 1500 series use the same brackets as the Vortech, but the older Novi 1000 and 2000s like this one used a totally different bracket system. It's hard to tell from the vids, but the blower is massive compared to the Vortechs/newer Novis. If you could find the bracket for sale you could easily have a machine shop copy it for you. It's pretty much (3) 1/2" thick aluminum plates and some spacers.

@@tpalm88 No sir. Swapped everything over the winter. Totally new car now

@@flyboy1294 do you have IG, I have a few questions. I just got a teksid, victor jr and 04 cobra crankshaft.

Accutach's website is just accutach(dot)com. I think it's a pretty small business because they don't really have part numbers-- the box you need is just labeled "1994-2004 Mustang cruise control box." Other than that, we just used a US Shift Quick 6 controller for the 6R80 and used the stock cruise control buttons ars the shift selectors. The Quick 6 makes it pretty easy to wire up.

I have mine set up this way through the us shift controller (gen 2) didnt need an extra box
